Welcome to the Bio-Inspired Robotics Lab. of the CSE Department at IITG!<\/p>\n
We envisage this Lab. to be home to enthusiastic practical researchers in real-world bio-inspired robotics. We believe only in actual implementations and try to ward ourselves from simulations and closed world scenarios \u2013 flaws that lead to the decline of the classical (theoretical) AI. \u00a0This lab. is funded by the FIST programme of the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.<\/p>\n
The main research focus is to build an Artificial Being (ABe<\/em><\/strong>) which unlike humanoid robots, is a congregation of networked mobile robots emulating the various parts\/organs of a body. The ABe<\/em><\/strong> is still in the making and when done will manifest in the form of a small group of wireless mobile robots that maintain their integrity, connections, spread out, re-group, share intelligence autonomously and even interface with human beings and comprehend their emotions. Information and hence intelligence is shared using autonomous mobile agents that knit through these robots, serving them based on demand. These heterogeneous agents act distributedly, cloning as and when required to hasten information flow while at the same time controlling their population within the network in a stigmergic manner thus saving on precious bandwidth.<\/p>\n Mechanisms for agent mobility amongst \u00a0networked robots that request information using pheromone diffusion (not to be confused with theoretical ACO model) and stigmergy based clonal population control have been tested and implemented. Learning using AIS and behaviour arbitration using emotion recognition and generation fall in the current research agenda.<\/p>\n The research has yielded other valuable side-products which include-<\/p>\n Key Investigators:<\/p>\n \u2020<\/sup><\/strong>Not to be confused with typhoon!
